Senate Majority Leader “Republican” Sen. Mitch McConnell retained his Kentucky seat in the midterm elections.

According to “Fox News,” McConnell won 59% of the vote, while his “Democratic” rival, Amy McGrath, got 36.7%.

McConnell, who has held his post since 1985, is close to President Donald Trump.

McConnell’s (78-year-old) victory sparked backlash on social media sites, mostly as the state suffers on multiple levels, including health, economic and educational levels.

Notably, McConnell is the longest-serving senator at the head of a bloc in the Senate, as he was the leader of the “Republican” minority between 2007 and 2015 and when the “Republicans” regained control of the House, he became the majority leader. Under the United States Constitution, the vice president is the president of the Senate.

In his acceptance speech, McConnell said it was not the time to attack the Constitution “like some ancient relics.”

McConnell added that “this is not the time to declare war on the institutions because of the anger of one of the parties, but it is the time to defend what the United States has inherited.”
